Carbon market prices could tumble 75 percent if credits for re-growing forests are added to markets for industrial emissions, Greenpeace claims.
A report issued during U.N. talks on a climate treaty said that forest carbon credits could also slow the fight against global warming and divert billions of dollars from investments in clean technology. "Forest credits sound attractive but they are a dangerous option," Greenpeace International's political adviser on forests said.

"Including forest protection measures in carbon markets would crash the price of carbon by up to 75 percent and derail global efforts to tackle global warming," Greenpeace said.

once there's money on the table, CO2 is suddenlya side show, who would have thought. still, greeners and gorists won't listen, because they already know.
these people should all be tried for crimes against humanity, because their criminal pursuit of fuel crops took the food off the tables of millions of people. this insanity should be ended by lethal injection or whatever is en vogue today. i'm serious. they killed lots of people and destabilized the entire world for their 'carbon trading'.

How did they/we destabilize the entire world for carbon trading? It is a talked about scheme but the details are still being worked out and here is a voice from Greenpeace saying it won't work. Like a lot of people say it makes no sense to allow companies to go on polluting OUR air.
